Registration of importers will enhance AVA's ability for tracking and source tracing of processed food and food appliances imports, which is consistent with AVA's current system of control over imports of fresh food produce such as meat, fish and vegetables. Registration of importers also facilitates effective communication and implementation of regulatory measures to ensure food safety. For instance, it will help in fast identification of food importers, enabling swift actions to be taken to prevent unsafe food from entering Singapore.
